I agree, completely with the concept of sub-labels. As currently
constituted, labels are too cumbersome. The way "Outlook" handles this
issue is much more usable. In other words, what is needed is major
label categories with the ability of setting up sub-labels under any
major label. Without this feature, I will soon have to move to a
different email and that would be a shame.
